Chilicon Power was founded under the premises of sustainable organic growth from a business standpoint.

Our microinverter and Gateway are designed in California and also manufactured in California.

Having been involved with generously financed startups in the past, the founders know the inefficiencies that can develop and the further reality that often a small core group provide the ‘heavy lifting’ for the rest of the enterprise. Chilicon Power is afforded tremendous flexibility through this approach. For example, the original company focus was on ‘nano-inverters’ for building integrated photovoltaic modules. We actually developed prototypes, however, when that market did not materialize we modified the plan to refocus on building the world’s highest efficiency 60-cell module inverter.

We also believe that solar energy is a 20+ year trend that is only just beginning. A resident of Southern California need only look across the sun drenched roof line of their neighborhood or office to grasp the opportunity. Therefore, our business, like our products, is based on sustainability.

We look forward to the opportunity to serve your energy project needs and will continue our effort to deliver ever higher levels of technology to the renewables industry.

The Chilicon Power Microinverter
Chilicon Power has designed the highest efficiency microinverter in the world with built-in long-term reliability thanks to the use of the most reliable type of capacitors (contrary to some competitors that use electrolytic capacitors which are known to fail early).

Our technology is highly scalable from a few hundred watts to several kilowatts which enables the quick introduction of new inverters to complement our CP-250.

The CP-250 replaces large central inverters with small micro-electronics that attach to each solar panel. These devices, known as microinverters, allow each panel to operate independently, leading to significant improvements in energy production and adding a new layer of intelligence throughout the system.

The Chilicon Power System

Each Microinverter integrates with advanced networking technology and web-based software to enable new levels of intelligence and connectivity in the solar array.

Specifically, the Chilicon Power Microinverter System consists of the following components

The Microinverter that connects to each solar module and converts DC power to grid-compliant AC power
The Gateway that networks with each microinverter and represents the information on a nice 7" LCD display. It also transmits performance information to the internet for ubiquitous access
The Cloud software where our customers can monitor and manage their solar power systems 24 hours a day
